hello! How are things going for all of you? I hope well. The weather here has been very odd, but I am enjoying it. I have never been much of a winter person, but I do generally manage to enjoy fall. :) Well, this year is no exception! Mine and Jaydon's 5 year anniversary is next month, and I am super excited about that!
BUT... anyhow onto the title of my post... why I love tjmaxx. I can always find super nifty deals for the home. :) I have been on a hunt for a new comforter for quite awhile now, and finally found the perfect duvet cover at tjmaxx just yesterday!
I love love it to pieces, the only thing I am worried about is how long the color will stay this bright white. :) BUT, it is a duvet, so I can always throw it in the washer. { I apologize if the wrinkles hurt your eyes... I admit to never ironing my cloth napkins, clothes, or anything else that happens to need it. ;) }
WARNING: The wrinkles are VERY obvious in the picture below... you may want to scroll past it... :)
The colors in this really went GREAT with the rest of the room, and I stole that brown pillow from the living room couch. It was originally purchased from pier1 last fall. Oh! That brings me to another project that has been running through my mind... updating the living room colors/theme. I have been checking out hotels in Seattle for mine and jaydons potential anniversary trip, and fell in love with the colors in a few of the more modern hotels. .. grey and orange. This particular hotel (hotel max) is completely inspired by art, and I would love to stay here! note: I havent decided on the exact color of orange just yet... but maybe a little brighter then the rust color seen here.
I have been seeing a bunch more orange lately, and I think fall has more then likely sprung that trend... but nonetheless I love it! Of course, I am talking only changing it by bringing in oranges as accent colors, pillows, and art, maybe a few other pieces... but painting the walls grey is an idea I would love to see follow through.
Oh- and here is some pictures of the shelves in our room. I rearranged things again, and also found all of my vintage cameras in a box outside in the garage. :) yay!! (psstt: They are inspiring a new print)
...and one more thing, I recently had a request for more boys themed art... and I am granting that request! I currently have 2 space themed prints and also 2 circus prints waiting to be colored. I am excited about finishing them up, but have been busy working on christmas cards! Yep, I already have three finished. I'll give you a sneak peek at my newest one...
We made a trip to bestbuy over the weekend, and bought 2gigs of extra ram for my computer. Something it was DESPERATELY needing. :) It sped up my computer like something fierce, and I am enjoying it taking less then half the time it used to take to finish up a piece of art. Which has finally allowed me the time I needed to finish up my very own scrapbook paper, for Journey's mini monthly scrapbook...
Here they are printed, I love how they turned out! Of course I am coordinating these with some bright colored cardstock as seen here.
I have some little sketches drawn out on graph paper, which will really speed up the creating process. I'll be sure and include a scanned copy for your own use in the next week. :)
Well, thats my update for this beautiful thursday! I hope everyone has had a great week!
